is it the giant overpass(the one in the redbox)?
which of the green, yellow and blue box is the gym?

Correct, the red box is the overpass. The green box is the gym. The website is incorrect. There are more than 5 courts. Used to be 9 now 7 or 8, I think, since they installed washrooms and changing rooms with showers.

Thank you very much for your help. we would definitely check this one out..

Another thing, the one that you mentioned where in the gangnam club plays, do you have any info on how it works out there?
I think its the most convinient place for me and all of my friends during weekdays.

Sorry for having too much question, hope you wont be fed up with my quiries.

I don't know how it works. There are 3 or 4 public facilities in Gangnam and one thing they all seem to have in common is that the clubs listed that operate within them all meet in the mornings only. Gangnam Club is the same deal, 6-8AM. In situations like this, I am sometimes tempted to just show up at the location in the evening just to see what it's being used for but with one of these places, the Gangnam Sporex, the facility website mentions the same hours for badminton. It doesn't however, have any information on what the gym is being used for in the evening. It seems as if the local schools might be the only option for evenings in the Yeoksam area. Incidentally, I posted some other relevant information here.

hope u can help me

There is the Boramae club, which plays in Daebang Middle School. It's at the top of this list. Sounds like they are only in the mornings, though. #14 on the list plays in Youngdeungpo High School, which is a fair piece to the northeast of you. #8 on the list plays at the Youngdeungpo Middle School next door. Several others are on the other side of SNU station. You might be better off taking the subway and playing in the clubs mentioned in the SNU thread. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

There's another club in Bundang in Seohyeon Middle School. They play in the evenings. If you want somewhere with an admission fee (as opposed to having to join a club in order to pay for the facility), I don't know if the Bundang Olympic Sports Centre is like that or not. Suji Fitness Park has an admission fee, though and lots of buses go there from Bundang.

Hi event, yes one of the bc members ryan27 (i think this is his handle) invited me to play at Gwanak middle school with the SNUcock club, mostly SNU grads and undergrads who play there every tue, fri and sat. though lately i havent found the time to play much. how are things? i hope all is well...

I'm not much help to Seoulites. I play in Suwon and Yongin. I did play once with the SNU club at Gwanak, though. I've played in about a dozen cities all over Korea and it's very rare to see such a young group.

Check your Romanization. Even if I assume you mean 'Dae' rather than 'Dea', 'deck' involves pure guesswork. The closest I can come is 대덕동, which is in Goyang, though just over the border from Seoul. I still can't recommend a 'good club'. I just get these from an online list. For Seoul, the list of Eunpyeong-gu clubs is huge. For the Goyang side, one place to start might be the Goyang threads, which are here and here. For your area, the Deokyang-gu list might be relevant but I don't see any in Daedeok-dong.

I'm not going to say any more yet, though, in case my guess at your Romanization is wrong.

The Dwight School website shows that address but the only thing any maps show at that address is the Seoul Japanese School. Either way, the closest club, basically across the street, would be at Sangam High School (#12 on this list). They play in the evenings. Another nearby is #8, at Sangam Elementary School.

You can go through the list in detail but possibly the closest club in a public facility, where it might be possible to play without joining, might be #14, although the club plays in the mornings and has a stiff membership fee and the facility homepage says nothing of daily admission rates. It might still be worth checking out. The gym is due east of the World Cup Stadium.
